Assistant district attorney announces plans to leave

Alamance County Assistant District Attorney Paul Soderberg, who for several years has prosecuted felony cases in jury trials, announced his resignation Thursday.

Soderberg’s last day with the district attorney’s office will be July 18. Soderberg is leaving for personal reasons related to his family and will be moving with them to Michigan, according to a release from the district attorney’s office.

“All were supportive and understanding of his future resignation,” the release said.

Soderberg joined the district attorney’s office in May 2007 and held the positions of chief District Court prosecutor, juvenile court prosecutor and Superior Court felony prosecutor. Soderberg was the lead prosecutor on noteworthy cases, including the Cary Allred driving-while-impaired trials in District and Superior Court, the Acie Moore second-degree murder case — involving a charge of driving while impaired — and the Derick Miles rape trial, which involved Miles breaking into a woman’s home, kidnapping her and assaulting her.

“Paul has been a good prosecutor for this office and a great friend to me,” Alamance County District Attorney Pat Nadolski said in the release. “Paul is well liked around the courthouse and in the community he served. He fought tirelessly for victims and Alamance County. Paul will be missed, and I wish him the best.”

Nadolski and Soderberg are working to ensure a smooth transition of Soderberg’s felony caseload.

“I have been blessed to work in this first-class organization,” Soderberg said in the release. “I pledge my continued support to Pat and his office, and will help his office in whatever way I can going into the future.”
